Course Curriculum

10

  • The course and curriculum were fairly up to date with industry standards, with a ton of real-life scenario exposure and practical knowledge-building exercises.
  • We had almost 3 full days of classes in a week from 8 - 6 in the evening.
  • The average number of students per class was around 25-30

Admission Experience

  • It was one of the few triple-accredited business schools in the EU as well, and I had read/heard good reviews about its standing and prestige. The admissions process was rigorous as well and felt authentic.
  • I would say my overall experience was fulfilling and rewarding. The exposure to a new culture is always refreshing.
  • My scores: GMAT 710, IELTS 8.5. Although these are just boosters to your profile in general.

Faculty

8

  • Our faculty was one of the best I have ever had. Almost all of them were industry experts and had a ton of insights to share with us.
     

Campus Life

8

  • Can’t complain about the campus life as we had everything we would require to function and flourish in a new country.
  • There are a plethora of clubs you could join and participate in, given that you manage your time properly.
  • Sports & recreational activities were abundant as well, with access to world world-class gymnasium

Part Time Jobs

  • On-campus part-time opportunities are next to nil as the French Education system vastly differs from the one we see in the States. However, off-campus opportunities are plentiful, but there is a cap on the number of working hours per month, and if you violate this, then you could face serious consequences

Placement

8

  • The major hurdle in landing a full-time job in France after graduating is the French language. I would highly recommend incoming students to be Business fluent in French. This makes it a lot easier to land lucrative full-time opportunities.
  • Having said that, there is good scope for English-speaking jobs as well, but it may take a little longer to land those.

Accommodation

Off Campus
8

  • I used to live in a studio apartment 1.5 kms away from my school which costed me about €420 /month. But we are eligible to get rent assistance from the French Government as something called CAF and after that deduction my rent was around €300/month

Exams

  • There were not any mandatory requirements other than IELTS. However, attempting the GMAT and maintaining good grades helps you secure scholarships.
  • SOPs and LORs are equally important to guarantee admissions

Fees

  • Total fees were around €26,000-€28,000, but after scholarships, it can come down to 16-18,000
